Can you finance a trampoline park?

Yes, trampoline parks are financed as a standard asset purchase, usually on hire purchase or a lease, with the machine itself acting as the security. UK prices typically run £100,000 to £600,000, and most deals are written over 36–84 months with a deposit of around 20–25%. Decisions typically take 5–10 working days. Used machines are financeable too, usually with a shorter term.

What buyers actually specify

Guide prices for sizing a finance agreement, not quotes. Manufacturers in this market mostly price on application, so where a current UK list price could not be confirmed the row describes a specification class rather than naming a model. Your supplier quote is what the agreement is written against.

Machine or specification	Guide price	Type
Trampoline court zone (wall-to-wall freestyle jumping)	£30,000 – £80,000	Trampoline court zone
Foam pit and dodgeball zone	£20,000 – £50,000	Foam pit and dodgeball zone
Ninja warrior / obstacle course zone	£40,000 – £100,000	Obstacle course zone
Full park installation (multiple zones, frame, padding, netting)	£250,000 – £500,000	Full park installation

Tax benefits

Trampoline beds, springs, padding, netting and zone equipment such as foam pits and obstacle features are purpose-built apparatus for the trade and generally qualify as plant and machinery, eligible for the Annual Investment Allowance up to £1,000,000 in the year of purchase. The steel superstructure bolted into the building's floor and roof steels is a larger and more integral installation than most gym equipment, so ask a capital allowances specialist to review how it has been constructed and fixed before claiming, since treatment can vary between a demountable system and one built as part of the unit.

Market context

Trampoline parks are typically opened by independent operators and small regional chains converting a large industrial or warehouse unit, and the fit-out, trampoline beds, steel frame, padding, netting and additional zones such as foam pits or an obstacle course, is by far the largest cost before the business can open its doors. Finance is standard practice because that fit-out cost is due upfront in one large invoice, well before any admission income arrives, and spreading it protects the cash needed to recruit and train staff and market the opening. This is one of the clearest examples in leisure fit-out of an installed work rather than a hard asset: the frame is bolted into the roof steels and floor slab of a leased warehouse unit, has essentially no resale value once removed, and a full removal and reinstatement at the end of a lease can be a significant cost in its own right, so landlord consent for the installation and an agreed dilapidations position are essential before a lender will fund the build, and both should be factored into the term you choose. Replacement spend is driven overwhelmingly by trampoline beds, springs and padding wearing out under constant, heavy use and by safety inspection requirements, not by the steel frame itself failing, and there is no secondhand market for a park's bespoke welded structure.

Bad credit?

Several of our 200+ lenders specialise in businesses with imperfect credit histories. You may need a larger deposit or personal guarantee, but options exist. Checking your options here does not affect your credit score, because we do not run a credit search to match you. A lender will run their own checks only if you decide to apply.

Frequently asked questions

Why is landlord consent such a big issue for trampoline park finance?

A trampoline park frame is bolted directly into the building's floor slab and roof steels, so it is one of the most substantial fixed installations in leisure fit-out. Most warehouse leases require landlord consent before this kind of structural alteration, and a lender funding the build will want that consent in writing, along with clarity on who bears the cost of removing the frame and making good the unit if the lease ends or is not renewed.

What should I agree with my landlord about dilapidations before I finance a park?

Get a written position on whether you can leave the frame in place for an incoming tenant, whether you must fully remove it, and who pays for reinstating the floor and roof fixings. Full removal of a large park can be a significant cost in itself, so this should be budgeted for and reflected in your lease length and finance term, not left as an open question until the lease ends.

What deposit is typical for a trampoline park fit-out?

Expect 20–25% on hire purchase for a full installation, reflecting both the scale of the project and the fact that the structure has no resale value once fitted. Lenders will look closely at the strength of the lease and the operator's business plan, since the asset itself offers limited security if things go wrong.

Can I finance replacing worn trampoline beds without redoing the whole park?

Yes, replacing beds, springs and padding on an existing frame is a smaller, more affordable project than a full fit-out and is routinely financed on its own over a shorter term, since these components wear out well before the steel structure needs attention.
